    Default clean up

    I was asked to do a carving of a portrait its beyond my talents, I have a hard time with learning cut paths.... the portrait wouldn't come out of the frame so I scaned it in the frame and glass, the glass gave a glare to the picture is there a way to clean it up or is it a lost cause.

    I have some thoughts, so let me refer to an expert and get back to you...
    Spoke with a professional photographer and he recommends the following:

    1. Use a high quality digital camera.
    2. Take a picture outside in the shade with no flash.
    3. Place a large piece of dark cloth under the picture so not to cause a reflection.

    Put your finger over the flash This makes the lens stay open twice as long plus you dont have to worRy about glare from the glass
